Parking Lot Masses
If you pictured parking lot Masses at Our Lady of Malibu parish as long lines to get in and longer delays to get out, you would be mistaken. Due to brilliant planning by the staff and excellent execution by the volunteers, the drive-in Masses at OLM are the next best thing to live gatherings in church. Just exchanging a smile and a wave with your OLM brothers and sisters helps keep us connected. And, above all, we are able to receive the Eucharist with minimum exposure to the dangers of Covid19.
Guaranteed admission, however, is on a reservation basis because we are limited to 35 vehicles, so please go to the News page for registeration links and more information on the procedure. Remember, you must re-register each week.

Zoom Mass Option Continues
I am aware that a number of you still do not feel comfortable returning to Mass, whether in the church or the parking lot. Please be assured that we did not forget about you. We will continue our Zoom Mass offering until that time when we are set up for live-streaming inside the church. However, the new version of Zoom Mass will have an added benefit…the Eucharist!
We will Zoom the 10am Mass every Sunday. Please EMAIL FR.MATT for the link and password: frmatt@olmalibu.org. Approximately a half-hour after Mass is complete, I will be distributing Communion to all who care to drive to the church, from 11:30a-12:00p. This will allow you to receive the Lord without the anxiety of being in a crowd. There’s no need to call or email, just make sure to arrive at church within the stated times. If you arrive early, please be patient because we will be working to clear the parking lot and break down our Mass setup. The time was scheduled to allow people to come from the northern and southernmost points of Malibu following Mass. -
